    Oh, if only you'd of said "your one to complain".

  2. Re:No way on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    I've an idea: if John Hurt falls over and dies while filming, they could just introduce another actor and say he's the same character, with a different face. They could explain it by saying he "rejuvenated".

  3. Re:To Expensive on OK City Data Center Built To Withstand Winds Up To 310 MPH, Says Contractor · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Where's the profit in that? Berm-sided buildings and domes should be Code in that part of the country, from the air it should look like The Shire. People who live at the confluence of the jet stream descending after crossing the Rockies and the warm, moist air up from the Gulf shouldn't be surprised when tornados form, any more than river-bank dwellers by spring flooding.

    I'd bet on Flash, myself.

    If you think that anything of any commercial value is going to be published without a "patent applied for/patent #xxxx" already attached, and/or a spinoff company founded by one or more of the authors, then you're not paying any attention at all to history. Silicon Valley is full of companies started by Stanford docs and post-docs, as a simple example.

  6. Re:Gosh!!! on Taking Action For Free JavaScript · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I thought it was pretty obvious that my Frist Psot was about making fun of the ridiculuous levels of Category Five Hyperbole. I'm not arguing against free software, I'm arguing against batshit-crazy concepts and statements like, oh, I don't know, saying that visiting a website that doesn't subscribe to a particular (rather narrowly and authoritively defined by RMS, I might add) philosophy causes me to "sacrifice my freedom". How can you read that without rolling your eyes? I didn't start the "supercilliousness", HE did.

    Don't make fun of me. The whole notion of non-free Javascript has me clutching my pearls.

  8. Gosh!!! on Taking Action For Free JavaScript · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I never realized visiting a website required me to "sacrifice my freedom"!

  12. Then again on Planetary Resources To Build Crowdfunded Public Space Telescope · · Score: 1

    I remember a previous plan "to help schools and museums in their educational efforts to inspire great enthusiasm in space". We put Alan B. Shepard in a Mercury capsule, shot him into the sky and put it on the cover of Life Magazine. Worked for a whole generation.

  13. Re:Note to self... on Mayor Bloomberg Battles Fleet Owners Over NYC 'Taxi of Tomorrow' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hear hear. I live in the Chicago area, and the amount of money he's pouring into ads and orginazations (particularly gun-outlawing) promoting his Nazi/nanny state agenda is breathtaking. Last election cycle his PAC was all over the airwaves, telling massive lies both pro and con to promote their selected candidates. Bloomberg won't rest until he controls every aspect of our lives, including the size of our soft-drink cups.

  14. Technically, you only need four on UC Berkeley Group Working On Creating Inexpensive 3-D Printer Materials · · Score: 0

    Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

  15. Sounds like a pretty good system on Quadcopter Drone Network Will Transport Supplies For Disaster Relief · · Score: 1

    Much more likely to be used for city-wide surveillance than for world-wide disaster relief.

    Is this an article about how the Windows 8 UI was designed?

  20. The end of history on Goodbye, Lotus 1-2-3 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the same way VisiCalc made the Apple ][, Lotus 123 made the IBM PC. Later, when people said "IBM compatible", what they really meant was "123 compatible", because it wrote directly to the video memory, rather than doing screen output through BIOS calls; so "compatible" hardware had to address its video memory the same way IBM did.
